Today, more life occurred. It seemed to crawl by at a snail’s pace, but then I was driving home, listening to my iPod in the car, and looking forward to a relaxing evening alone. Natania and I spoke on my way home, and we’re going to the Apple Store tomorrow. I need a laptop PC for school, because I am there so often, and also for any traveling I do at work. And since she has Cuthbert, a 14″ iBook, I figured I’d steal it from her and she’d never notice.
But she did! She said, “Michael, I see that you have taken my computer. Hand it back, please.” And I pouted and continued in vain to hide it from her behind me, but that wife of mine is no fool. So we came up with a compromise. I get the iBook and she gets an iMac. And the free iPod mini that comes with it. We’re heading to the Apple Store tomorrow to scope out the scene and see how much this will impact our pocketbooks. We’re doing well enough right now, our debt is under control, and all checks to lenders are in the mail.
So, tomorrow, Apple Store and probably the Farmer’s Market, and then we’re both working tomorrow, 3-ish to whenever-ish. If I get a chance, I’ll do a spot of lawncare on Sunday, and there will be homework and exam preparation. Tonight, I’m going to work a bit on scanning my photos, our new webpage (IbidIbid.org, which is a sort of online writer’s workshop with magazine, but it isn’t that right now; just our homepage), and possibly burn some DVDs for the watchin’ pleasure. I’m almost done downloading the first KTMA Mystery Science Theater 3000 season… should be intriguing.
We got rid of World of Warcraft. So I’m gonna log on and send my gold to our friends and say goodbye. The end of an era, I suppose. C’est la vie. This too shall end.
